How would you guys feel about signing someone like Jeremy Shockey or Kellen Winslow for the rest of the year, putting Spaeth as our FB and putting Rodriguez as the #2 tight end and sittin Davis? or if you dont sign a FA, put Spaeth at FB and putting Rodriguez as the #1 TE...id like to see what he can do.

I want to see what E-Rod can do. He's been great in blocking, so if he can catch the ball in any way he could be our answer.

Unfortunately, that would mean him blocking less and Davis can't even substitute there.

The organization voted with its checkbook on Kellen Davis; $2.7 million signing bonus in a two-year package totaling $6 million. Davis is due a 2014 base salary of $2.4 million and at this point it is problematic whether the Bears consider a tight end with only 11 catches and significant drops through the team’s first nine games.

He has seen a substantial negative rating by analysts for ProFootballFocus.com in five of the Bears’ nine games, allowing two sacks on Jay Cutler in addition to drawing four penalties.

Davis is the 55th-ranked tight end, according to PFF, with five drops, a key lost fumble on the Bears’ first play in the Houston game, and 55th in percent of catches from passes thrown (42.3).

Like E-Rod's upside a lot and think he can be a factor no matter what. However, listening to sports talk radio (I keep apologizing for not remembering which source - I toggle between 670 and 1000 constantly when driving) and someone said that E-Rod does not even participate in the tight end meetings. Apparently, they are so committed to him at FB/Hback that he has not even learned the TE plays.

Please tell me this is all propaganda to keep opponents unprepared.

It's not sorry bro. During camp he was with the TEs playing well, then by late was with the RBs working out it was set in motion a long time ago, preseason locked that in
